CM: Barcelona’s siren continues but Leao remains focused on Milan

Rafael Leao has consistently attracted the attention of the big clubs in Europe, and AC Milan will be glad to hear that he is remaining focused on his current situation. 

The past 10 months have seen questions arise about Leao’s position at Milan for a variety of reasons. Leading up to the summer mercato, there was speculation about a departure, perhaps to replace Mbappe at PSG or add to the firepower at Manchester City.

Regardless of the rumours, he remained.

This season, the rumour mill has begun to start again. A frosty relationship with new head coach Paulo Fonseca saw Leao eventually shifted to the bench for a period of time, and there had been suggestions that he had asked his agents for a way out.

Barcelona, seemingly, are the most interested club. Their need for a new winger is clear, and the Portuguese is one of their favourite options, an option they dream of. As Calciomercato.com write, the idea of a Rossoneri departure is growing in Spain, especially with the Blaugrana being ‘convinced’ that he is the most ‘authoritative alternative’ to Nico Williams.

Nevertheless, the winger has recently reaffirmed his love for the club and stated that the problems with Fonseca have been sorted.

Perhaps, once again, the rumours will run dry and he will remain, as he blocks out the Spanish siren, focusing on Milan.
